Very grateful to Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden for letting us use their facilities and showing me their amazing living #palm collection (here: Kerriodoxa elegans, a southern Thailand endemic). Already arranged to come back next year and spend more time. #floraofthailand @EcoinfAU

Tremendously enjoyable day in the dry dipterocarp forest of Ob Khan NP in N Thailand, together with their super knowledgeable and helpful rangers. Not many palms (just Phoenix loureiroi), but plenty other #plants to collect for the #herbarium, and lots of hills to climb...

Collecting spiny #rattan #palms for the #herbarium is fun - but watching somebody else do it is even better. Showing my colleagues in Thailand how this is done - no pain, no gain (why did I forget to bring my gloves??) #floraofthailand @EcoinfAU
